"Our Park system is a vital element of Denver's infrastructure and directly influences the health and livability of our city. We're excited to partner with City Parks Alliance in hosting the 2019 Greater & Greener Conference."
- Happy Haynes, Executive Director, Denver Parks and Recreation
"I stumbled upon Greater & Greener and City Parks Alliance's websites, and six months later I attended Greater & Greener 2012 in New York. Greater & Greener changed my life, and I hope the conference inspires many to change the lives of others in their communities."
- Luis Romahn - Presidente Associación Nacional de Parques y Recreación
“This is a marvelous conference, I’ve been to it several times and seen it grow over the years. [It brings] people in from other sectors besides park managers so the conversation is both broad and deep.”
- Mami Hara, General Manager and CEO, Seattle Public Utilities
“I’ve just been energized. Meeting people from different parts of the country, and even parts of the world. I’m going back energized, and ready to roll up my sleeves and do great things for New York city.”
- Mitchell Silver, Commissioner, New York City Parks and Recreation
The Toro Urban Park Innovation Award recognizes innovation in park management and practices and is presented in partnership with City Parks Alliance. The award is one of the ways that the conference creates a lasting impact on the parks and community.
